Began in the late 1960s, the green revolution was a period when the agriculture production expanded drastically, all over the world, as a result of new technology. In India the Green Revolution applies to a period when Indian agriculture was transformed into an industrialized arrangement due to the selection of advanced techniques and technology such as the use of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, pesticides, irrigation facilities, tractors, and manure. The following are some of the advantages of the Green revolution:
1. It increased employment in the primary sector.
2. A substantial increase in food grains production was observed in India as a result of the Green revolution.
